Chief Canice Moore Chukwugozie Nwachukwu (Omeogo), a representative for the Orlu, Orsu, and Oru East Federal Constituency in Imo State, had his rural home destroyed by unknown assailants on Thursday.
Peter Anaele, a local resident, told reporters that the gunmen struck at the home in Isioma, Abara village, Amanator Okporo Community in the Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State at around 2:00 a.m. on Thursday.
Explaining what took place, he stated that the congressman was not in his house when the intruders opened fire.
He claims that the criminals, who were armed with firearms, bombs, and other potentially lethal materials, rounded up the lawmaker’s domestic workers under threat of violence before setting fire to the building.
They threatened further violent attacks while stealing property and valuables, filming employees, and releasing the videos online. They hauled in two 20-liter barrels of gasoline and doused the structures before setting them ablaze with explosives, bombs, and dynamite.
According to information acquired by Infostride News, the incident has caused widespread fear and terror.
